One of the main criticisms of Christians, both inside and outside the church, is that they are too judgmental. Is that a fair criticism? Author and teacher Shannon Popkin answers that question and tackles the big finger pointing verse, “Judge not lest ye be judged.” She’s also concerned about believers being less judgmental of themselves.

Conversations that Keep Family Businesses StrongFamily businesses face a challenge that other companies don't: business disagreements can quickly become family conflicts - and family conflicts can threaten the business.Succession, sibling rivalry, different visions for the company's future, unclear roles and power imbalances can create friction. Sometimes the conflict is obvious. Other times, family members avoid difficult conversations until resentment has been building for years.So how can family businesses resolve disagreements without damaging either the company or their relationships?In this episode of A Seat at the Table, host Jane Singer speaks with Michael Kern, former CHRO and conflict and culture consultant, about practical ways family-owned businesses can prevent and resolve conflict.Michael explains why the best time to address family business conflict is before there's a crisis—and how open conversations about individual goals, roles and expectations can prevent misunderstandings from becoming major disputes.Why Conflict Develops in Family BusinessesEvery family business is different, but many conflicts begin when family members have different interests that haven't been openly discussed.One person may expect to eventually run the company. Another may want to leave. Someone else may want greater influence without becoming CEO.The problem is that families frequently make assumptions about what other family members want.Michael recommends starting these conversations early and revisiting them regularly because people's goals change.Important questions include:Where does each person see the business going? What role does each family member want? What does success look like for them personally?Getting those expectations into the open can expose differences while they're still manageable.How Do You Resolve Family Business Conflict?When conflict has already developed, Michael uses principles from mediation.The first step isn't deciding who's right.It's understanding what each person actually wants.That requires listening without immediately making judgments. Family members often create their own stories about why another person behaves a certain way. Those assumptions can become barriers to resolving the real problem.Michael recommends reflective listening - demonstrating that you understand what another person's position means to them - and asking questions with genuine curiosity.The objective is to move away from competing positions and uncover the interests underneath them.Someone saying “I want to be president” may actually be looking for respect, security, greater involvement in decisions or recognition of their contribution.Once those underlying interests are understood, families have more options for finding solutions.Give Everyone a VoicePower dynamics can make family business disagreements particularly difficult.Founders, senior family members or more aggressive personalities may dominate conversations. Quieter family members may accommodate them simply to preserve the relationship.That doesn't mean they agree.A neutral facilitator can create space for every family member to speak and ensure that nobody's interests disappear simply because someone else has a stronger personality or more organizational power.Michael also asks participants what they respect about each other.That can shift the conversation away from everything that's wrong and remind people that they usually share something fundamental: an interest in maintaining important relationships and, often, protecting the business.How Do You Make an Agreement Last?Getting everyone to agree in a meeting isn't enough.Michael recommends what he calls “navigating the future.”Before considering a conflict resolved, ask what could realistically derail the agreement six months or a year from now.What happens if circumstances change? What obstacles could emerge? Can everyone actually deliver what they've agreed to?The agreement should also be documented.Without a written understanding, two people can leave the same meeting believing they agreed to very different things.Regular check-ins are equally important. Family members' goals evolve, businesses change and outside circumstances can alter what is practical.A six-month review can determine whether the agreement still reflects everyone's expectations.The Best Strategy: Don't Wait for a CrisisPerhaps the most important lesson is prevention.Family businesses should discuss roles, expectations, succession and individual ambitions before disagreements become entrenched.Family members entering the company may also need clearer conversations about where they fit. Being part of the family doesn't automatically mean someone wants—or is ready—to eventually lead the company.The goal is to replace assumptions with conversations.Because when family members understand what everyone wants, they have a much better chance of protecting both the relationships and the business.In This Episode00:00 – Why family business conflicts become so complicated02:46 – Why difficult conversations need to start early06:00 – Common causes of family business conflict09:56 – How mediation can resolve serious disagreements12:37 – Reflective listening and removing judgment15:29 – Positions versus underlying interests17:46 – Using respect to rebuild common ground20:28 – How to make agreements last22:56 – “Navigating the future” and anticipating problems24:58 – Why regular follow-ups matter25:56 – Why family business agreements should be documented29:16 – Making sure quieter family members are heard30:53 – Managing power dynamics within the family33:11 – Why prevention is better than crisis intervention35:15 – Helping the next generation find the right roleAbout Michael KernMichael Kern is a former Chief Human Resources Officer and a conflict and culture consultant with experience working with family businesses, organizational culture and mediation.

Jennifer Pepito is joined by Dr Kathy Koch to talk about raising healthy adult children and staying in relationship with them through trial-and-error parenting, making mistakes, and the four pillars to raise healthy children and the importance of choosing relationship whenever possible.  As any parent with more than one teenager knows, parenting — what you know and what you think you know — shifts dramatically as children come of age.

Divorce can make even the most confident person question every decision. When fear, conflicting advice, and financial uncertainty take over, how do you determine what is truly right for you? Divorce can make even the most confident person question every decision. When fear, conflicting advice, and financial uncertainty take over, how do you determine what is truly right for you?In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan speak with Amy Armstrong, a nationally recognized expert in conflict resolution, parent coaching, mediation, and family systems. Amy is the founder of the Center for Family Resolution and the Center for Coach Development, as well as the author of *Real-Time Parenting: Choose Your Action Steps for the Present Moment* and the upcoming book *Boundary Basics: Simple Steps to Resolve Conflict*. Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal divorce experience, Amy explains how to rebuild trust in yourself—one small decision at a time. She shares why repeatedly thinking through the same decision may signal a lack of self-trust and introduces a practical framework for placing decisions into three categories: yes, no, or later. The conversation also explores how to choose support people who hold a positive vision for your future, set boundaries based on what you want to protect, and move away from language that keeps you feeling powerless. Amy, Karen, and Catherine discuss the connection between emotional regulation and financial clarity, especially when one spouse has significantly more financial knowledge than the other. Amy also offers insight from her work training judges, including why family court outcomes can be unpredictable and why being brief, clear, prepared, and emotionally grounded can make a meaningful difference. In this episode, you'll learn: How to recognize when you are not trusting yourself Why practicing with small decisions builds confidence How the “yes, no, or later” framework reduces rumination What to look for in a genuinely supportive person How to establish boundaries without trying to control someone else Why financial clarity should come before major divorce decisions How to communicate more effectively in mediation and family court When your decisions align with verified information, your priorities, and what is true for you, you can move through divorce with greater clarity and confidence.
